One of my fave all time games has been made into an anime which started to air recently.

Devil May Cry has been on air for a few weeks now. Being a huge fan of swords and guns slashing/shooting seven shades of poop out of demons, I personally was disappointed with the anime. I found both ep1 and 2 to be rather boring - the story not seem to be going anywhere. I can understand that stories need character development time but both ep1 and 2 weren't half as interesting as 5 mins of Sky Girls.

This Devil May Cry slot machine is probably more interesting^^;
Not to knowledgeable on slot machines but the ones in Japan have LCD screens where you can see some sort of action going that changes depending on how well you are doing (or something like that). You can see some examples at the official site for the slot machine under "battle".

I actually found the anime to be rather entertaining, although it doesn't quite catch the essence of the game as the action sequences are too fast and it's hard to make out what happens sometimes.

Also, dante isn't quite cocky enough for my tastes. But then He was best in Devil may cry 1!!

I found the anime to be quite boring too.  Kinda disappointing due to the original trailers for it they released this spring got me really pumped and excited to see it.  That slot machine does look pretty fun though.

I'm currently watching it and it's very cliché.  Not a great anime so far.  However, I'll stick with it until the end just in case something good happens.

I'm very disappointed by all the reviews so far for this anime. I will still watch it, but I will be very skeptical about it.

DMC anime is kinda disappointing. It doesn't have a main plot or a concrete storyline, just mediocre to dull random new story per episode. C'mon, give us another mass demon invasion led by a powerful demon lord who wants to take over the world. At least that kind of story sticked closely to the game.

I have watch DMC up till episode 3, the animation and action are pretty good but i still don't knw what's the main plot line suppose to be, the past four episode has just been killing demons, I just hope it pick up soon, maybe a hint of a bigger plot.

I have seen the first 3 eps and while I like the animation style there just isn't enough of a storyline to keep me interested. I may keep picking it up but it is not on my must watch every week list. (Kind of like where bleach is at the moment.)

I did a review on this when the first episode came out which I didn't think was half-bad, just needed more demon killing.  So far though I'm really disappointed in how the battles all seem to be one-sided as all the "Devil Hunters" beat the demons with ease.  I'm still watching though to see if anything good comes out of it.  While i was in Japan I saw a bunch of DMC pachinko machines but never took a picture.

Was a bit disappointed with the first episode. I prefer Sky Girls or iDOLM@STER they held my attention longer than DMC. CAPCOM is most prob chasing in on the franchise brand for DMC4. I prefer seeing Karen-chan in her motion suit ^^6

Yea, the anime is a huge disappointment. It was successful in making me buy the second and third installments though, haha. I can't wait for the fourth game.

Was curious and saw the first episode, but it was quite disapointing... didn't feel the same pleasure I had with the game, fights are too fast to be enjoyed.
It can't rivalize with Claymore IMO ^^

I too am disappointed. I had to drag myself to get to episode 4 just to see Trish came out.  Not too much action and stylish moves present in the anime which was what the game was known for really.  I'm definitely dropping it.  

Claymore is much much more interesting IMHO. ^^

Yeah, I haven't been too impressed with DMC anime either.  I practically fell asleep trying to watch the 2nd ep but I thought the 3rd was a bit better and the 4th held my interest.

I guess much like you, I was expecting the anime to be much more exciting and cool like the video games, which I also love.

Guess the ultimate anime for me is still out there yet to be made.

a friend of mine advised this anime for me to put it on my watchlist but since sky girls is on my list and i cant help to put it down, i guess i have to finish sky girls first and watch dmc then. can i ask you danny? is dmc more or much less attractive than claymore?

seen 4eps of it
and my opinion is... ugly, dissapointing, and just a passing through show.

let's see some of the next eps
they should add more sword, melee act than banging a gun!!
